Not a Consumer Reporting Agency. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Any legally regulated check must use an authorized official channel or an FCRA-compliant provider.
Accuracy of Information
Public offices may revise hours, fees, addresses, telephone numbers, and procedures without notice. Record systems also change as cases move. Although the material is reviewed for accuracy, no detail is guaranteed to remain current. Confirm instructions and payment terms with the responsible Erie County or New York office before acting.
An Arrest Is Not a Conviction
An arrest is not proof of guilt. A charge may be declined, reduced, dismissed, or resolved in the accused person's favor, while a booking entry only confirms custody at one point. Later record sealing, cannabis expungement, or correction can also make an old copy misleading. Verify the current disposition with the originating court, the Erie County Sheriff, or the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Treat every record you find as a starting point, not a verdict. Only the originating agency can confirm what a record currently says and whether it is still releasable.
Verify With the Official Source
No material here is an official record. Confirm a court date, warrant, custody status, or registry listing with the Erie County Sheriff, the originating criminal court, DCJS, or the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Only the lawful custodian can issue an official or certified copy.
Not Legal Advice
The site provides information, not legal advice. General Erie County record procedures cannot replace advice from a licensed attorney about a warrant, pending charge, or record-sealing application.
Third-Party Search Tools
Third-party companies operate search boxes appearing on some pages. They control submitted data, pricing, and returned results. A result can be incomplete, old, or linked to the wrong person, and every result remains subject to the FCRA limits stated above.
Outbound Links
Links to the Sheriff, courts, state agencies, registry pages, and other resources leave this website. Erie County Criminal History does not control or warrant an external site's accuracy, content, or availability.
No Records on This Site
No criminal case files, arrest reports, jail rosters, warrant entries, rap sheets, or registry profiles are hosted here. The issuing agency must receive and answer a request for the actual record.
